Figma announced on Tuesday that it is partnering with Anthropic to launch “Code to Canvas,” a feature that converts AI-generated code from tools like Claude Code into fully editable designs inside Figma. The same day, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6, its second major model update in under two weeks, It was also made the default for Free and Pro users.
Together, the announcements signal a workflow shift. AI generates interface code autonomously, and design teams refine it on the canvas before pushing to production.
The workflow is straightforward. After building an interface in Claude Code, users install the Figma MCP (Model Context Protocol), type “Send this to Figma,” and the browser’s rendered state automatically translates into fully editable Figma layers.
